The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) offers GI technicians, nurses, advanced practice providers, and other members of the GI team a unique opportunity to earn a certificate of completion through formal coursework and training. This is the only comprehensive, formal endoscopy technician training program available today.

Join us as Dr. Gottumukkala Raju from University of Texas MD Anderson and Dr. Andrew Storm from Mayo Clinic Rochester present the program's history and share a case study on its implementation in Dr. Storm's unit.

1. Close other applications and browser tabs. This decreases the load on memory so your computer or other device can focus on streaming.
2. Use a 5 GHz frequency if your router supports it. The common 2.4 GHz frequency is used by household appliances, so is more crowded. Avoiding it is like getting into the carpool lane on a freeway: smoother sailing.
3. Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi if possible but GI LEAP is built with Wi-Fi in mind. 
4. Monitor your internet connection. If your ISP has promised you 5MBps and you are getting only 1MBps, it's time for a phone call to your internet provider to sort that out.
